I Think I've Got You Beat
A/N Here's the next one. It's to do with Halloween and an evil spirit is out for revenge against Duloc. I hope Artie and Snowgre can calm her down
It was Halloween and there was a party at the swamp.
But Snowgre felt he didn't belong.
He'd dressed up as a ninja like Naruto.
He noticed that the triplets were out trick or treating.
Artie was there.
He was dressed as a knight.
He then heard somebody singing in the forest.
"I wonder where it's coming from?
Who's singing?" he thought as he went into the forest.
He then saw a woman in the middle of the forest.
She had brown hair tied up in a bun.
She wore a ragged dress, had pale skin and was slender.
Artie was amazed.
"Who're you?
You're amazing!
Why're you out here all alone in the forest?" he asked her.
"I-I'm lost.
I live in another realm.
You seem nice." She said to him.
Her eyes glowed with silver blue light.
"You can't leave now.
Not until sun rise." She said as magic surrounded her transforming her into an ogre.
She had grey skin, blue eyes, long hair.
She had pointed ears.
"Why can't he leave?" Artie heard somebody ask.
It was Snowgre with a katana.
"Hmm… that ogre kid seems perfect for my revenge.
They drove me out of town but I'll make sure this Halloween they'll never forget!" she thought.
"I'm a spirit risen for this one night.
But I want revenge." She told them.
"But why?
What did they do to you?" Artie asked her.
Snowgre's eyes were wide with shock.
"I think I know why.
Her name was Soltra.
She was an ogre witch.
At first she was good and healed the sick and wounded.
But the villagers found out and were angry.
Then on Halloween a thousand years ago she used her voice to cast a spell that led the youngsters of the village to her including Shrek's sister.
To this day Soltra vowed vengeance on Duloc." Snowgre explained to them.
"That's right boy.
You're going to help me." she replied.
"Why would I?
You're an evil witch who hurt innocent people.
I may be an ogre but I'm not like you." Snowgre replied to her.
Soltra's eyes glowed with silver blue light and was about to cast a spell when a hooded figure appeared.
"Stop Soltra!
I will not let you hurt another living thing as long as I live." it yelled.
"Curses Vida is here!
I thought she was taken care of like the others.
Apparently not." she thought as she saw the hooded stranger recite a spell.
"No!
You'll pay for what you've done Vida." she yelled turning to dust.
Artie was relieved but Snowgre was curious.
"Why is her name ringing a bell in my head?
No way!
It can't be, can it?" he thought as he saw the person take down the hood.
They were amazed to see an ogre girl with short brown hair and hazel eyes.
"Wow you rocked!
How did you know how to stop Soltra?
It's like you knew her." Artie said to her.
"I'll explain.
My name is Vida.
I was one of the children Soltra lured away.
I escaped before she could hurt me.
I'm Shrek's sister.
I was born with magic inside of me like Soltra.
Only I use mine for good." she explained to them.
Artie was stunned by that fact, that Shrek's sister was staring him in the face.
"It's okay Artie I sort of knew.
Shrek had a photo of her.
He showed us after telling us about Soltra." Snowgre told him.
"You should come with us to your brother's swamp.
I'm sure he'll be happy to see you.
You guys haven't seen each other in years." Artie suggested.
"Yes I will.
I hope he hasn't been alone since I disappeared." Vida replied as they walked to the swamp.
Back at the swamp the party was still in full swing but Shrek seemed sad.
Fiona wondered why.
"Hey guys we're back!
We brought an old friend with us.
Where's Shrek?" Snowgre told her.
"He's in the house but he seems depressed.
I don't know why." she replied.
Artie smiled as they walked into the house.
Shrek gasped seeing the girl with them.
"V-Vida is that really you?" he asked.
"Yes brother it's me alright." she said.
There were tears in his hazel eyes as they hugged.
"Thanks guys.
Y-You don't know how much this means to me.
I got my sister back after all this time." he replied.
"Soltra was about to hurt them and I knew it wasn't right after what she did thousands of years ago.
I turned her to dust with my magic." Vida replied as they walked outside.
"Wow I haven't seen him this happy in a long while, well not since the triplets started kindergarten last month." Snowgre said as he and Artie went to enjoy the night.
I'm glad Vida helped stop Soltra.
How knows what she would've done if Vida hadn't turned to dust.
I'm also glad Shrek and Vida are back together as siblings.
